Re: WHATS NEW AT LSRC??

McGrew Yard is in Flint.

The locomotives in Saginaw being referred to are EMD GP20D's, which is a four-axle B-B locomotive built in collaboration with MotivePower and EMD, with a Caterpillar prime mover.

Re: The Floridian - Amtrak's New (Temporary) Train

I was interested at first when I heard the Floridian name, but was disappointed to see it running via Washington DC. I've been considering this trip since my parents moved to Florida in 2018. They live twenty minutes south of Tampa. I would spend the night in Washington DC because the connection wit...

Nice video David.

The two boxcars could have been from several customers. The 16 empty centerbeams from most likely the large distributor by 8 Mile Rd. And the gondola from either DCON or GLR.
The first three cars were pulled from Hoover on East Davison in Detroit.

Re: BNSF/CN coal trains on the Holly subdivision

The J.R. Whiting plant closed in 2016. The trains generally didn't operate with DPUs as they hadn't become as prevalent then. The 766 and 767 had a crew change in Pontiac. The cars originated off the B&O, C&O and L&N during the DTSL days, which operated a Whiting turn from Lang in the overnight hour...
